A November view from the easternmost dock, facing downriver at Wright's Marina. The river passes the hamlet of Britt before opening into Byng Inlet as it flows in to Northeastern Georgian Bay. The original owners operated the marina from 1950 to 2021, on the banks of what was once a substantial shipping lane for the lumber and fishing industries. Here in the mists of the early weeks of winter, that history, with its perils and expectations of arrivals and departures, lingers.
